Adams Rite MS1837 Series Two-Point Deadlock with Pivoted Bolt and Threshold Security
Maximum Security Two-Point Locking System for Wood Door Pairs
The Adams Rite MS1837 Series Two-Point Deadlock provides maximum security for wood door pairs through simultaneous dual-point locking with a single key turn. This Grade 1 commercial deadlock features a case measuring 1" x 6" x 2-3/16" with 1-1/2" backset and accepts standard 1" length mortise cylinders. The system eliminates the need for inconvenient flush bolts by dropping a stainless steel hexagonal bolt into the threshold while pivoting the massive MS bolt into the opposite door leaf.
